Download Blazegraph (blazegraph.jar) from here: [https://blazegraph.com/ https://blazegraph.com/]
GraphDB documentation:
I recommend placing blazegraph.jar in the same folder of your python project for the labs.
* [https://graphdb.ontotext.com/documentation/10.0/quick-start-guide.html GraphDB 10.0 Quick Start Guide]
Navigate to the folder of blazegraph.jar in your commandline/terminal using cd. (cd C:\Users\Martin\PycharmProjects\info216_labs for me as an example). Now run this command:
* [https://graphdb.ontotext.com/documentation/10.5/ GraphDB 10.5 Documentation]
<syntaxhighlight>
java -server -Xmx4g -jar blazegraph.jar
</syntaxhighlight>
You might have to install java 8 64-bit JDK if you have problems running blazegraph. You can do it from  this link:
"https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html"
If you get an "Address already in use" error, try to run this command instead: "java -server -Xmx4g -Djetty.port=19999 -jar blazegraph.jar". This changes the port of the blazegraph server.
If you have trouble installing Blazegraph you can use this link for now: "i2s.uib.no:8888/bigdata/#splash".
This is the same blazegraph interface, but its stored in the cloud and only be used on the UiB network.


 
SPARQL reference:
If it works it should now display an url like: "http://10.0.0.13:9999/blazegraph/". Open this in a browser.  
* [https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/ SPARQL Query Documentation]
You can now run SPARQL queries and updates and load RDF graphs from your file into Blazegraph.
<!--
In the update tab, load RDF data (select type below) and then paste the contents of your turtle/.txt file to add them all at once to the database. If you have not serialized your graph from lab 2 yet, you can use the triples on the bottom of the page instead. Just copy and paste them into the Update section.

When you have received the download link in an email from the ''GraphDB Team'', you can proceed to install and run GraphDB in the following manner, depending on your system:
* SELECT the city and country of where Emma lives.
* On Windows:
* SELECT only people who are older than 26.
** Download the GraphDB Desktop .msi installer file.
* SELECT Everyone who graduated with a Bachelor Degree.  
** Double-click the application file and follow the on-screen installer prompts.
** Locate the GraphDB Desktop application in the Windows Start menu and start it. The GraphDB Workbench opens at http://localhost:7200/.


Use SPARQL Update's DELETE DATA to delete that fact that Cade is interested in Photography. Run your SPARQL query again to check that the graph has changed.
* On MacOS
** Download the GraphDB Desktop .dmg file.
** Double-click it and get a virtual disk on your desktop. Copy the program from the virtual disk to your hard disk Applications folder, and you’re set.
** Start GraphDB Desktop by clicking the application icon. The GraphDB Workbench opens at http://localhost:7200/.


Use INSERT DATA to add information about Sergio Pastor, who lives in 4 Carrer del Serpis, 46021 Valencia, Spain. he has a M.Sc. in computer from the University of Valencia from 2008. His areas of expertise include big data, semantic technologies and machine learning.
* On Linux
** Download the GraphDB Desktop .deb or .rpm file.
** Install the package with sudo dpkg -i or sudo rpm -i and the name of the downloaded package. Alternatively, you can double-click the package name.
** Start GraphDB Desktop by clicking the application icon. The GraphDB Workbench opens at http://localhost:7200/.


Write a SPARQL DELETE/INSERT update to change the name of "University of Valencia" to "Universidad de Valencia" whereever it occurs.
For more information about setting up GraphDB you can check out their quick start guide:
[https://graphdb.ontotext.com/documentation/10.0/quick-start-guide.html Quick Start Guide].


Write a SPARQL DESCRIBE query to get basic information about Sergio.
===Setting up a repository===
Follow the ''Create a Repository'' section in the [https://graphdb.ontotext.com/documentation/10.0/quick-start-guide.html Quick Start Guide].
Create a new GraphDB Repository called, for example, ''info216_lab3_NN'', where ''NN'' are your initials. Choose ''No inference'' for now.
Otherwise, the default parameters are fine.


Write a SPARQL CONSTRUCT query that returns that: any city in an address is a cityOf the country of the same address.
Connect to the new repository and pin it as your default repository.


==If you have more time==
===Load data===
Redo all the above steps, this time writing a Python/RDFlib program. This will be the topic of lab 6.
Download the Turtle file [[File:russia_investigation_kg.txt]], and save it with the correct extension, as ''russia_investigation_kg.ttl'' (not ''.txt''). (You can also experiment with the Turtle file you saved after exercises 1 and 2.) Load the Russia_investigation data through the GraphDB Workbench as described in the QuickStart guide.
You can look at the python example page to see how to connect to your blazegraph endpoint in Python and how to perform some basic queries.


You can use ''http://example.org/'' as Base IRI.

Registering for GraphDB Free

To retrieve a download link for Ontotext's GraphDB Free tool, you first need to register. Here is the registration link (or search for "ontotext graphdb registration").

If you do not like registering for proprietary software, it is still possible to do most of the exercises using Blazegraph, which you can download here (requires Java). Blazegraph is a powerful open-source tool, but GraphDB offers even more functionality and is what the lab leaders will prepare for this semester.

Installing and running GraphDB

When you have received the download link in an email from the GraphDB Team, you can proceed to install and run GraphDB in the following manner, depending on your system:

  • On Windows:
    • Download the GraphDB Desktop .msi installer file.
    • Double-click the application file and follow the on-screen installer prompts.
    • Locate the GraphDB Desktop application in the Windows Start menu and start it. The GraphDB Workbench opens at http://localhost:7200/.
  • On MacOS
    • Download the GraphDB Desktop .dmg file.
    • Double-click it and get a virtual disk on your desktop. Copy the program from the virtual disk to your hard disk Applications folder, and you’re set.
    • Start GraphDB Desktop by clicking the application icon. The GraphDB Workbench opens at http://localhost:7200/.
  • On Linux
    • Download the GraphDB Desktop .deb or .rpm file.
    • Install the package with sudo dpkg -i or sudo rpm -i and the name of the downloaded package. Alternatively, you can double-click the package name.
    • Start GraphDB Desktop by clicking the application icon. The GraphDB Workbench opens at http://localhost:7200/.

For more information about setting up GraphDB you can check out their quick start guide: Quick Start Guide.

Setting up a repository

Follow the Create a Repository section in the Quick Start Guide. Create a new GraphDB Repository called, for example, info216_lab3_NN, where NN are your initials. Choose No inference for now. Otherwise, the default parameters are fine.

Connect to the new repository and pin it as your default repository.

Load data

Download the Turtle file File:Russia investigation kg.txt, and save it with the correct extension, as russia_investigation_kg.ttl (not .txt). (You can also experiment with the Turtle file you saved after exercises 1 and 2.) Load the Russia_investigation data through the GraphDB Workbench as described in the QuickStart guide.

You can use http://example.org/ as Base IRI.

Graph visualisation

Go to Explore -> Visual graph and create an Easy graph around the resource http://example.org#investigation_0. Double-click on nodes to expand them. Are there any more investigations related to Richard Nixon?

SPARQL tasks

Go to the SPARQL Query & Update tab.

Task: Using the data in russia_investigation_kg.ttl, write the following SPARQL SELECT queries. ( This page explains the Russian investigation KG a bit more.)

  • List all triples in your graph.
  • List the first 100 triples in your graph.
  • Count the number of triples in your graph.
  • Count the number of indictments in your graph.
  • List everyone who pleaded guilty, along with the name of the investigation.
  • List everyone who were convicted, but who had their conviction overturned by which president.
  • For each investigation, list the number of indictments made.
  • For each investigation with multiple indictments, list the number of indictments made.
  • For each investigation with multiple indictments, list the number of indictments made, sorted with the most indictments first.
  • For each president, list the numbers of convictions and of pardons made after conviction.

If you have more time

Task: Try to program some of the queries in a Python program (this will be the topic of later labs). You have two options:

Using rdflib: Read the Turtle file into an rdflib Graph and use the query() method.

g = Graph()
g.parse(..., format='ttl')
r = g.query(...your_query_string...)

The hard part is picking the results out of the object r...

Using SPARQLwrapper: You can use SPARQLwrapper (another Python API) to connect to your running GraphDB endpoint. See the Python example page for how to do this.
